Bed Head


When Merrick woke up this morning he had the craziest bed head. I could not help but snap a picture. I started thinking about how quickly he is growing up and the new things he is learning everyday. With all the posting about vacation it has been a while since I have had a chance to blog about Merrick. So, here is a little about Merrick at 10 1/2 months.

He now says seven words- "mama", "dada", "nunu" (no no), "daw daw" (dog), "Lala" (Lola), "uh-oh" and "maw" (more).

He loves to explore cupboards and drawers.

He crawls so fast and sometimes his hands can't quite keep up with his legs.

He loves his push cart and will walk with anything and along anything. He is really close to walking on his own but is not sure of himself enough to try.

He loves books, cars, and balls, but he loves grown-up toys like cell phones and computers even more.

He is an eater. He has not met a food that he does not like and he would eat all day if we would let him. He loves to steal bites when someone else is eating. He will come and stand by you and stomp his feet or say "maw" until he gets some.

He likes to make silly noises with his mouth and will sometimes imitate you if you sneeze or if you blow raspberries at him. He has also discovered squealing and will belt out an ear piercing happy squeal out of nowhere.

He likes to go and be out. He is such a people person and is almost always happy and making friends with strangers.

He loves all his family, but he particularly loves being around his cousins.

It seems like Merrick changes everyday and I have a hard time believing that the one year mark is just around the corner. My baby is growing-up so fast.
